Tiani's Homemade By Mattus Fine Art

Tiani’s Homemade is a heartfelt extension of Mattus Fine Art—created from a place of love, connection, and meaningful moments. What began as a simple act of making something special for family has grown into a collection of hand-knit blankets and Cuddle Companions, each thoughtfully designed to bring comfort, warmth, and a sense of calm. Every piece is made by hand, with care in every stitch, and with the intention of becoming part of life’s quiet, meaningful moments.

More than just handmade items, Tiani’s Homemade is about how something makes you feel. Whether it’s a soft blanket, a comforting companion, or a cherished gift, each piece is created to be held, loved, and remembered. As this next chapter unfolds, we look forward to sharing a collection that reflects heart, purpose, and the beauty of slowing down—because the moments that matter most are the ones we feel.

Meet Joseph Mattus

Founder of The Mindful Artist Academy

After graduating from art school in 1987, I hadn't really picked up a pencil or paintbrush for many many years. My journey put much distance between me and the artistic expression I connected to as a young man. No matter how far my path strayed from drawing and painting, there still remained in my heart a burning candle inviting me home to practice. This practice would not only become the core of my progression as an artist but the catalyst for a transformed life and outlook. I am so happy to share not only the drawing and painting methods I learned over the five years of Atelier study in New York City but ways these principles can positively affect our lives in ways we could not have imagined.

I am also an instructor at the Crealde School of Art.
